Pretty sure it's the city's and ING's call, not the running nerds.So, so stupid. The running and exercise nerds should put their stupid little jogging game on hold for a bit. As if we don't have enough gridlock and mess in the city right now?Hey...let's run a marathon!
Otis, the offer is definitely open to you, my man.Class act.'BigJohn said:'shamwow! said:OK, this might seem a bit strange coming from a lesser-known FBG like shamwow... but alas, I take off my mask to reveal one Homer J Simpson, world-famous debaucher and all-around wonderful guy.--->
Rambo above has inspired me to offer up my abundance of luxury to anyone that's really in the #### right now. I live in my sister's house in East Hampton, about 2 hours or so from the city. Single guy living in a big 4 bedroom house which now has power and cable and interwebs and everything. If you have the need to get away and the means to do so, I fully offer up a place to stay with a fridge full of beer and food, warm beds, a great area for entertainment and restaurants, and maybe some peace and relaxation. I'm a bartender and will be working Friday day shift and Saturday night shift, so you'll barely even see me if you want to come out for the weekend.I don't know if this sounds weird or anything, but now that I have power I almost feel guilty. Good enough reason as any to share my space, I guess.
Oh, and if you have teenage daughters please disregard this offer.
Much appreciated, and tempting. The offer itself is worth a ton. I'll probably stay local where we have family to help out/family to help, but really appreciate it.Otis, the offer is definitely open to you, my man.Class act.'BigJohn said:'shamwow! said:OK, this might seem a bit strange coming from a lesser-known FBG like shamwow... but alas, I take off my mask to reveal one Homer J Simpson, world-famous debaucher and all-around wonderful guy.
About 75% full. Mainly meats, vegetables, some frozen pizza, and ice cream. I wish I had filled up ziplock bags with water and threw it in there, like someone had advised.
Ice cream just toss it. Assuming it didn't melt all over. The other stuff I think you are fine. But I just ate some sausage links out of the freezer that the expiration date was from March
Did you cook them first?Ice cream just toss it. Assuming it didn't melt all over. The other stuff I think you are fine. But I just hate some sausage links out of the freezer that the expiration date was from March
Ditch the veggies, just because their texture will be ruined. The meat should be fine.
How many nights did I fall asleep to her smooooooooooozing with the Smoooooooze.
of course silly... I'm not a raw sausage type of boy.Did you cook them first?Ice cream just toss it. Assuming it didn't melt all over. The other stuff I think you are fine. But I just hate some sausage links out of the freezer that the expiration date was from March
Meats will stay frozen two days without power. Breads will not - and I'd be suspect of the pizza as a result. Ice cream is toast. Vegetables are probably fine, but as mentioned previously, texture may be shot. If you use them for soups, consider keeping them. Otherwise, toss.
SUNRISE HIGHWAY????????Jesus. Those little south shore towns, the streets flood with a normal high tide.'=Smackdown= said:
Yeah . . . . so sad.Drove down to the end of Hewlett Ave yesterday to the Marina in Merrick. Saw a boat sticking out of someone front window.
The running nerds would probably prefer it be cancelled in most cases. How do you even get there.I'm sure the organizer wanted to roll forward and the city wanted the revenue. I'd blame it on the elected officialsSo, so stupid. The running and exercise nerds should put their stupid little jogging game on hold for a bit.

Thats actually kinda cool.
They stated exactly that on ABC news last night. Race brought 334 million(seems ridiculous) in revenue last year and the city needs to get back up and running to get some of that revenue.The running nerds would probably prefer it be cancelled in most cases.

And the officials on Staten Island are doing exactly that. They're destroying the Mayor for going ahead with the marathon while they're still searching through rubble for bodies.Interestingly enough, they're also killing the Red Cross for offering them almost zero help to this point.The running nerds would probably prefer it be cancelled in most cases.

The marathon should be cut to a half marathon and include aid work to qualify for finishing the race.And the officials on Staten Island are doing exactly that.

This is correct.Any meats that are raw will be safe. Quality may suffer due to some thawing, but still safe. Anything that has any precooked meats (meatballs, sausage on the pizza, etc.) I probably wouldn't chance it. But a sealed up chest freezer will hold temperature for quite a while if you keep it shut.
Did you see that piece on NBC4? I just saw it and I live about 15 minutes away from there. I was welling up in tears watching it. I feel like driving over there and giving them clothes but theres one major problem... I have little gas. I dont have much else to provide.And the officials on Staten Island are doing exactly that.

Figured as much. They could pull a Myrtle Beach and cancel it the night before so the hotel reservations are non-refundable.They stated exactly that on ABC news last night.

Didn't the article you just mentioned above reference a relief station being set up in New Dorp?A number of my friends spent today volunteering in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and LI. Probably 10 of them. Authorities can't just snap their fingers and survey every square inch of land and immediately get aid there. It's not that simple. In some cases, people are going to need to chip in locally if neighbors require assistance.
As a runner, if I were signed up, I think I'd be hard-pressed to run the race. How do you relax before the race and not have all this suffering on your mind? How do you shuttle out to Staten Island and not think about the losses there? How do run through Queens and not think of the devastating fire? How do you block all of that out and concentrate on the long race? Why would you want to? I understand the revenue loss, but then ask for donations ...put together a concert in Central Park ...let people come in and volunteer to help clean up, as Otis mentioned (no chain saws). Boston offered marathon deferrals this year with the horrible heat. Is New York supposed to ignore Sandy and just carry on? I'm sure there are plenty of registered runners from NY and NJ and other places that can't get out of their own neighborhoods to compete. Don't add insult to injury by starting the marathon party without them.Figured as much.

This might not be the time, but there are actually some great homes down there. Living south of the Merrick, in any thing more than a simple second home, might not be the wisest thing going forward. We all know Freeport isn't the greatest place going, and they flood every good rain. I'd have no problem buying people out with federal money, its going on in places like Wayne and Bound Brook NJ. The world is changing and to keep living the path of water is going to be a challenge.
sorry, 3 days later seems like a slow response and even the politicians are ripping the Red Crosshttp://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/11/gillibrand_schumer_promise_red.html#incart_river
I live right there - just north of Sunrise.Got a large tree on the house / in the yard and no power - can't really complain.Waited for gas for about 45 minutes and I get to the front to find people sneaking in the exit and backing up when a car exits..... UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE.I'm like "Guy, the line is about a mile back"..... and his wife starts calling me all kinds of names including idiot...... SHEESH. Idiot or not it took me 2 seconds to figure out where the line started....People are getting edddddddgy!!Saw other another station with a police car at the exit and I bet there was an issue....
Havinh no pwer seriously blows. all in all though we made out a lot better than many so I'm very thankful. We had a giant tree go down in the backyard but it missed the house. I bought a chainsaw at Home Depot this morning and took that ####er apart, which was very cathartic. Best wishes to everyone dealing with the aftermath.

####### tree!!!Still no power, heard today that it might not be restored until the 14th
Florida Power & Light sent up 28 trucks as of Tuesday.
Really? This angers me more than it probably should for some reason.
